WEATHER ALERT: The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for Suffolk County that will be in effect beginning at 4AM until 6PM on Tuesday, February 13. The NWS forecast currently calls for 5-10 inches of snow throughout Babylon with high winds and treacherous driving conditions likely during the Tuesday morning commute.
The Department of Emergency Management is advising residents to exercise caution and avoid unnecessary travel on Tuesday. With high winds expected, we are also asking residents to secure any loose outdoor items on their property.
The Department of Public Works is at-the-ready with over 100 pieces of snow removal equipment fully-fueled and ready to go. Crews are now on standby and are ready to respond overnight as the snowfall begins to accumulate on roadways. As we make necessary preparations for our plowing efforts, please begin moving vehicles out of the street and into driveways.
The exact forecast of this storm remains uncertain and we advise all residents to prepare for higher accumulations as a matter of precaution. Clearing main roads to assist any first responders or emergency vehicles will be a top priority as our DPW crews work to keep up with what is expected to be a fast accumulating snowfall.
The Town of Babylon will provide updates here on our website as well as on social media.
